Commercial Description:
Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast. It is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. Dead Guy is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan malts, along with Perle and Saaz Hops.
In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with MaierBock as the elixir.

All I remember from this beer is that it put hair on my feet and toes. This was a pretty strong ale, but the actually flavor escapes me as it was a while ago so I’ll have to give it another try when I have a chance.

Bottle conditioned, 650ml from Sainsburys, Banbury. Clouded amber with slight head. Sweetish malty beer, quite thick on the tongue with an apple caramel flavour to the foreground. A little too cloying to make it refreshing, but it does disguise the alcohol well. Reasonable without getting exciting.

Smells and tastes like a malty dough with yeast. Appears a cloudy golden with white head. Good balanced flavor with malts & hops. A short chalky aftertaste.

Bottled. (12,64 oz) Has a reddish copper color with a big white head. Smells of banana, malt, hops, and other mixed fruit. Taste is fruity, and spicy, with a good crispness of hops, and a smoothness from A good malt balance. Great take on the style.

I really, really like this beer on draft but I think it loses something from the bottle. Caramel and deep maltiness dominate the aroma and flavor. There is a suble hoppiness that works very well for the beer. Love it.

Bottle. Glowing red copper with a medium head. Great raisins and nuts aroma and flavours, dry nuttiness. A superior bock.

12oz. bottle from L.C.B.O. in Toronto. Amber color nice thick beige head. The taste is of malt and vegetables with a sour bitter taste added to it. Some hops but not enough.
